Hi,

One of our clusters is becoming somehow unbalanced, at least some of the
nodes:

UN  192.168.1.121  2.33 TB    18      6.8%                RACK1

Notice the node 192.168.1.14 owns 13.4%  / 5.63TB while node
192.168.1.13 owns only 9.5% / 2.71TB, which is almost twice the load.
They both have 32 tokens.

The cluster is running:

* Cassandra 2.1.16 (initially bootstrapped running 2.1.2, with vnodes
enabled)
* RF=3 with single DC and single rack. LCS as the compaction strategy,
JBOD storage
* Partitioner: org.apache.cassandra.dht.Murmur3Partitioner
* Node cleanup performed on all nodes

Almost all of the cluster load comes from a single CF:

CREATE TABLE blobstore.block (
    inode uuid,
    version timeuuid,
    block bigint,
    offset bigint,
    chunksize int,
    payload blob,
    PRIMARY KEY ((inode, version, block), offset)
) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (offset ASC)
    AND bloom_filter_fp_chance = 0.01
    AND caching = '{"keys":"ALL", "rows_per_partition":"NONE"}'
    AND comment = ''
    AND compaction = {'tombstone_threshold': '0.1',
'tombstone_compaction_interval': '60', 'unchecked_tombstone_compaction':
'false', 'class':
'org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.LeveledCompactionStrategy'}
    AND compression = {'sstable_compression':
'org.apache.cassandra.io.compress.LZ4Compressor'}
    AND dclocal_read_repair_chance = 0.1
    AND default_time_to_live = 0
    AND gc_grace_seconds = 172000
    AND max_index_interval = 2048
    AND memtable_flush_period_in_ms = 0
    AND min_index_interval = 128
    AND read_repair_chance = 0.0
    AND speculative_retry = '99.0PERCENTILE';

The payload column is almost the same size in each record.

I understand that an unbalanced cluster may be the result of a bad
Primary key, which I believe isn't the case here.

Any clue on what could be the cause ? How can I re-balance it without
any decommission ?

My understanding is that nodetool move may only be used when not using
the vnodes feature.

Any help appreciated, thanks !
